Common Format for a Thesis
• An Abstract set at the beginning;
• An Introduction where the writer inform the
  readers about the subject of his thesis, the
  aim and objectives of the study and the scope
  of his research;
• A Literature Review which evaluate the work
  related to the area of study;
• A Methodology section in which the data and
  the procedure followed are described;
• A Result section whereby the findings of the
  study are given;
• A Discussion in which often interprets the
  findings described. This section shows if the
  objectives are achieved, how the findings
  relate to previous studies, and also evaluate
  the findings.
• A Conclusion which summarizes the whole
  study and draw a conclusion.
Literature Review
• A literature Review is essential in a thesis and
  is a critical or evaluative report of work related
  to your area of study.
• The review should describe, summarize and
  evaluate this related literature.
• The LR should not just be a description of
  work in the same area as yours. All the work
  referred to has to be read, evaluate and
  analysed.
• “In writing the LR, the purpose is to convey to
  the reader what knowledge and ideas have
  been established on a topic, and what their
  strengths and weaknesses are. The LR must be
  defined by a guiding concept (e.g. your
  research objective, the problem or issue you
  are discussing, your argumentative thesis). It
  is not just a descriptive list of the material
  available, or a set of summaries.”
  (http://www.utotonto.ca/writing/litrev.html)
• In general, LR should do the following:
1. Provide a context for your research.
2. Ensure that the research has not been done
   before.
3. Justify your research.
4. Show where the research fits into the
   existing body of knowledge.
5. Show how the specific area has been study in
the past;
6. Show weaknesses in previous study;
7. Indicate gaps in previous study;
8. Show that the present study will contribute to
the knowledge in the field.
